Staying in kata beach in thailand is it safe?

is it safe from terrorism and spiking of drinks and muggings etc.

Answers:
Come on, why do you want to think of Thailand in this way? This is especially so if it is a holiday resort. Thailand, as a Buddist country, is more benign compared to other countries. Of course, there may be theft, robberies or even rapes. But these are things everyone faces everywhere. But a terrorist strike is unlikely.

Don't develop this stereotype you have on the Thails. Thailand is generally a safe country. Don't listen too much to negative remarks by other people.

I should know. I was sent by my company to work in Thailand for a year. I lived there as freely as I care to. I also visited kata beach, pattaya, phuket when I was on leave. They were great places and I didn't encounter any problems.

If you are afraid, don't go alone. And yes, just like what the other guy has written, watch your drinks. Don't join strangers for clubbing.
Go to the state department web site. Check out the country before you go.
It is safe but you need to be cautious as a lone female.
Thailand is mostly safe. No one is safe from terrorism but there isn't much in Thailand no matter what the news says.

Watch your drinks though. I would suggest you are more at risk from westerners than Thais. Stay in groups

Of course it is. Thailand is not a drugs haven. Its a normal country probably friendlier and safer than London
It's safe, but stay away from clubbing, just like anywhere else
As safe as anywhere nowadays. Just show a bit of common sense and you'll have a fantastic time - Thailand is a wonderful, friendly place with great food, fantastic weather and loads to do.
you just have to be carefull. my sister used to live there and never had any problems.
